In my opinion the navigation bar is very large. In AOKP there is an option to resize it. But sadly Cyanogenmod doesnt offer this option. So i googled a bit and found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1793096

This guy wrote a script to change the size of the Bar. Sadly it didnt work with Android 4.2.2. (Don't know what's about 4.2.1)

So i modified it a bit and then it worked perfectle.

What you need to do:

- Download the attached script

- Download apktool from http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/ and place it in the same directory like the script.

- Get /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your device via adb pull or copy it with root explorer to your sd card and use mass storage

- Start the script (See below for detailed inscrutions)

- Backup your working framework-res.apk on your phone (Just in case if something went wrong)

- Replace /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the file the script created. (It has to be named "framework-res.apk of course!)

- Reboot. (I used fix permissions in clockwork mod, just in case if there are some permissions wrong)

Instructions for the Script:

Of course you need to install python.

On Linux you can make it executeable with chmod +x patch-framework.py and then run ./patch-framework.py.

Or you can just run python patch-framework.py.

I never tried to run python on Windows, so maybe somebody want to wrire instructions for it?

The script needs some parameters:

path to framework-res.apk

name of othe new framework

-h to show the help/usage

I started the script like this:

./patch-framework.py -w 36.0 -s 36.0 -sl 36.0 framework-res.apk framework_new.apk

-w width of navigationbar

-s height of navigationbar

-sl height of navigationbar in landscape mode

Have fun with your smalle Navbar :)

Feel free to ask if you have questions

Thank you m11kkaa for doing the main work! :)

How about changing the size of the notification bar?

For me, the notification bar is very small. Coming from a Galaxy SI, I find it real hard to see the icons when I've got it windshield mounted in my car. Any way to make the notification bar bigger?
[Nexus 4 General] moflolo:
Ive never tried it, but im pretty sure you can make it bigger. I used a height of 36px in my example. Just try it with 45, or 50...i think it should work
[Nexus 4 General] Dody83:
Thanks dude, I used 36px height...
[Nexus 4 General] Jeevez:
What file is it actually adjusting to change this? Looking at old tutorials, there was a dimens.xml file on the Galaxy Nexus but this doesn't seem to exist on my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] moflolo:
it is res/values/dimens.xml

Hey guys.

I have a HOX with cid BSTAR301, I'm currently running cyanogenmod 10.1 Alpha 1. The thing is I want to update it to Beta versions of this same rom but I'm having some trouble on how to update the hboot, mostly in undestanding what do I need to do it.

I started with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660807, found out I needed to get the rom.zip, but, don't know if any RUU for my cid will work (my guess is not).

So, if any of you have been through this I would appreciate for some help :)

My current hboot is 0.97.000 and I'm on S-ON (even though I don't completely understand what it is haha :p)

Thanks!
[HTC One X] eyosen:
This would be the tool to use. But checking the op, your Cid doesn't seem to be supported. So, it's a waiting game for you

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32467250
[HTC One X] niccolas_nec:
So until the op doesn't release the JB version I can't use this.

Is there a way of changing the CID? I've seen some guys talking about getting supercid '11111111' or something like that..

Thanks!

MY OPINIONS

I will update this section periodicity

The smart watch with the most bang for the buck

I really like that you can change the band. I will be getting a new band soon and will take pictures

The music controls at the gym is a BIG plus for me

Development is still in the early phases, so the best is yet to come!

What would you like to see added to the review? / Has anyone else gotten one? How do you like it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] daveid:
Another fix to the talkback issue is to disable/uninstall the offending application through the application manager, or freeze with an appropriate app.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
Has anyone used the watch with a bluetooth headset? more specifically a stereo bluetooth headset?

I was thinking about picking up a bluetooth headset to use at the gym. One thing I love about the pebble watch is being able to control music without pulling the phone out of my pocket all the time. I would be nice just to leave the phone in my bag.

Anyone know a good bluetooth headset that I can listen to music on while working out?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
Here is a thread with a lot of different opinions on wireless bluetooth headsets:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2019428

Hope that helps.

Question for you; can you control the master volume of the device with the watch?

As in, putting the phone into vibrate/silent mode?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
BIG question, can you use the smart watch and a bluetooth headset at the same time? I know some people would think it's redundant since there is 3.5mm for earphones on watch, but if you want to go full bluetooth, listen on earphones and see notifications, control music on watch, can you do that?

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

Desired Smart Watch Features:

Voice Commands

> Ask watch, what's the weather outside (Watch shows weather)

> What time is it in Germany? (Time shows for that region)

> What was my last text from John Smith? (shows last text)

> How is Apple Stock doing right now? (Shows it tanking, jk little jab there)

I think that this would be a good addition to this Pebble watch. Unless I missed it, do we know whether or not this will be possible? Maybe with Google Now integration?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HellRa1SeR:
Even I have ordered the Pebble. (Kickstarter backer). And I am patiently waiting. Once I get mine I will definitely post my views here.

Cheers mate :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
No, not that I have discovered. But the watch does vibrate. So you can set the phone to silent and the watch will still notify you.

Thank you for the heads up on the bluetooth thread!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I am wondering about the bluetooth headset as well. I have not purchased one yet. I was hoping someone had already tried!

Just to clarify, there is NO headphone jack on the watch.

I like the idea of voice commands, but there is no mic on the watch, so this would have to be used with a bluetooth headset.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
I was just reading in the pebble forums (external site) and saw that ios users have voice commands through their bluetooth headset. However, I don't know how that is interfacing with the watch.

In theory, I thought that 4.2 ROMs were supposed to be able to run multiple bluetooth profiles at the same time. I only have one bluetooth device, so I can't test this theory.

In the future, when Google Now gets a bit more mature, it would be awesome to hit the voice command button on the headset and be able to control system properties (ie wifi, sound, etc).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
A quick heads up to anyone that was following, or bid on the Pebble I have listed. I woke up this morning to discover eBay had removed the listing, and suspended my account. I was very confused because I only have positive reviews. I called eBay and they said they just needed to verify my account. I am not sure exactly why, but it had to do with this being the first item I have listed for sale. Everything is good now, but I had to create a new listing. My apologies to anyone effected.

Oh wow I thought it had a headphone jack. So that does beg the question, of controlling music. If I have wired headset, I'd have controls. If I have bluetooth headset I'd have controls. Idk if I get it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Yeah. I had a Metawatch and even though I could control the music from my watch it was easier to do it with the controls on my Bluebuds.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] s10sdeville:
Not sure about watxh specifically but I know that I can have my phone paired to my truck for calls and then paired to headset at the same time so multiple bluetooth profiles are a go
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RambJoe:
Can it say the next direction on Google Navigation when walking, like what it says in the ongoing notification?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I haven't specifically tested this.. But my initial answer is yes. If an app can give a notification, you can get it on the Pebble. There is an Android app in the Play Store called "Pebble Notifier". With that app you can select any app on your phone to send notifications to the Pebble.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
One of the concerns of a smart watch is how much will your phones battery life suffer due to the bluetooth connection.

After a few days of testing I have seen zero noticable impact on battery life. I dont know if it is because the Note 2 has such a beast of a battery, or if it is because bluetooth 4.0 just barely sips battery, but I am not kidding. I haven't seen any difference in battery life.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
most likely bluetooth 4 is very power efficient, pebble supports it and so does the note2

I'll be getting one of these watches, theres going to be all sorts of apps for them, I think they will be huge and therefore attract developers.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I agree. I think they will be huge. They are still on pre-order and already sold over 100,000. The only thing that sucks is how long it takes to get one. The pre-orders wont start shipping until april. Just about the only way to get one now is through eBay.

After using for a few days I cant wait to see the development for them. It is much handier than I even thought it would be, and you can tell there is so much that can be done with them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
I have a Pebble on pre-order but couldn't wait any longer so got a Metawatch.

Battery life is still great. BT4.0 is really efficient.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I really considered the Metawatch. But the reviews were very mixed, and it just seemed like there were too many flaws.

Are you happy with the Metawatch. Which model did you get? Do you see yourself buying the Pebble later?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Honestly, I was ready to pack it up and return it but then I installed Metawatch Community Edition app and it has been awesome since. I have the Strata version.

I get a notification on my watch for my GMail sometimes even before I feel my vibrate notification on my GN2. Text messages are also immediate. I like the vibrate feature on my wrist and I love the screen visibility since I work outdoors. I have the option to control my music from my watch but I find it much more convenient to control it from the controls on my bluetooth headsets (Jaybirds Bluebud X and LG 730).

So far it's behaving really well but I may still get the Pebble when it's available just to compare.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I read alot like that in the metawatch thread. It scared me off, but thats awesome that it seems to be resolved. The 3rd party apps are amazing. Someone made a Pebble notifier app. So basically any app the has notification will pop up on the Pebble.

I think development for these two watches is going to take off in the next 6 months.

Ya I typically feel the Pebble vibrate (which is a really cool feature) before the phone makes a noise. I have even thought about just leaving the phone on silent permanently.

I agree about the screen in sunlight. The E-Paper screen is a big plus. I almost sprung for the I'm Watch because of the color screen. Im glad I didnt. The E-Paper screen is perfect for a watch.

I really need to check out those headsets. I keep meaning too but I have yet.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
Why need a watch when you can look at your phone? I personally not a watch fan. Never wore it when there was no cell phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
No one NEEDS a smart watch, and I wasn't sure how useful I would find it. After a few days, I realize it is much more convenient than I even thought it might be.

When you are bundled up in winter clothers it is much easier to check the watch than to have to dig out the phone.

When you are hanging around the house and the phone isnt around you, you dont miss anything important. And just right now my girlfriends phone when off but it was across the room. She was like ughh. I laughed and said, see if you had a watch...

At work there are multiple situations where it can be poor etiquette to have your phone interrupt. But with the watch vibrate you dont miss anything. And you can excuse yourself if you have to take a call.

At the gym I dont have to pull the phone out to skip to the next song, or repeat a song I really like.

For me it is quickly becoming one of those things that I wonder how I lived without. This is also very early in development so the sky is the limit!

Not to add to it, but I was all the way across a 3500 sq ft house from my phone playing with my dogs, when I got the notification that someone had replied to the thread! It has crazy good range.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
The Metawatch doesn't have an E-Paper screen though. It has a 96x96 pixel sunlight-readable, reflective mirror display (Polymer Network LCD technology). I really like how it looks outside but it's a little more difficult to see indoors.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
The more you know... lol

Do you know how they stack up side by side?

I havent had any issues in the sun with the Pebble . Even with polarized sunglass lenses there is a little rainbow effect, but it is still readable. And much more readable than the Note 2 screen with sunglasses on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] le0.br4zuc4:
That is a crazy range, Bluetooth usually has a range of 30ft... Impressive.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scote:
Apps that interface to the accelerometer are going to be fun, that'll include gesture support and fitness apps like withings/fit bit/mybasis etc
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
That sounds pretty cool.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
The awesomeness didn't last very long. I ended up returning it. Too flaky, hopefully the Pebble will be more stable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wpguser:
I picked up my Pebble from Craigslist, brand new. It's the Kickstarter edition and I snagged it for $130! It works like a charm with my note 2. In addition I have the Bluebuds X bluetooth headphones and both work flawlessly! Very little delay if any with the music controls on the watch and no disconnects on the earphones. No complaints here!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] unignal:
epaper?

I wish people should stop going on and on about the "e-paper" display.

it's deceptive marketing.

Please do not confuse with e-ink display.

The "e-paper" display is just regular black and white pixel LCD (not different from those already in use in today's digital watches).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] type_2:
I finally got my red colored pebble. Took them long enough!

Now I got a couple of questions for you guys. When you turn on the bluetooth and connected to the Pebble via the app, does the bluetooth status icon in the nav bar showing not connected? Mine does that and I'm wondering if that's normal.

Also, I'm seeing maybe a pretty big drain on the battery. I know that the Pebble has 4.0 bluetooth, but they said they would activate it later on with an update. Has that happened?

Either way, I love this thing and It's pretty amazing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
it is very amazing. i have it. i have bluetooth on 24/7 and no problem with my battery...mainly because im using perseus kernel 35 and currently running jdevil rom- cleanrom is also a good rom for battery life (4.5 was my previous one with perseus and it was just as good).

just update your firmware and connect. you have to make sure your accessibility option is allowed for your pebble in accessibility in system settings. then you connect through the pebble app, which you download from the market. then you can configure your settings etc from within the app. i get my messages, emails, and phone call notifications all promptly without issue. it's truly nice considering we have such a big phone and can't always pull it at a moment's notice to check such notifications quickly. enjoy :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fryingpan0613:
Just to verify, you can have both devices connected and operating at the same time? It sure sounds like it I'm just making sure. I also have the bluebuds x.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wpguser:
Yup
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] karlonicolas:
just to clarify, both the phone and your headset are connected with the note 2 at the same time and they work at the same time?

you can use the bluetooth headset to make a call with the note 2 and the watch will still display phone notifications (like sms) through a working bluetooth connection with the same note 2 simultaneously?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] type_2:
Anybody have a battery life issues with the pebble itself? It lasts me about 3 days, half of their advertised battery life. Not sure if I'm just getting a ton of notifications or there's something with my unit.

Yes they are connected and working at the same time

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
yeah, yeah, yeah... staring back at my 2-day lasting metawatch :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thaibruin:
I've used my Pebble with both my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and My Verizon Galaxy Note 2. In either case, I get a minimum of 6 days before the low battery icon appears. This is also with getting a ton of notifications.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Let me take back my last comment about battery life. Everything was referenced to my STRATA model of MetaWatch. The FRAME which I just got recently been through a few charging paces, and now I had it running to 6.5 days and still have 28% battery left!!!!!! I do want to mention that in the evening I un-tether the phone because I don't wear my watch 24-7 and don't want Note 2 battery to drain while it constantly searching for the phone. I figured if I continue with a same use as now and based on how much battery is left, I can probably get 8 days out of it. If I keep it tethered all the time, I think 5+ days of heavy use is more reasonable. Not sure what is an issue with my MetaWatch, maybe older hardware version, etc.

Btw, with Pebble and its management app, does it continue to search if you leave your phone elsewhere? I mean, I don't think once you at home most of the people wear watch 24-7, while a lot might keep their phone on nightstand.

Btw^2, I can't wait until Samsung Gear is announced on Sept 4th!!!!!!!! With all the functionality cramped in there, will see how many "hours" it's battery going to last :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
That's awesome! I had no clue me metawatch ga frame was that strong. I actually have gotten so used to it that I wear my pebble 24/7 lol. I can't wait for the Samsung watch either. That's definitely going to be my next watch.
